For any x\,y\,z in G\; the (aforementioned) quasi-geode sics connecting them form a tripod\, up to removing at most m balls of rad ius K centered along such quasi-geodesics. In short\, the property asks fo r the existence of a bicombing on G satisfying some very strong properties making the group look as close to a tree as possible. In 1995\, Rips and Sela asked if torsion-free hyperbolic groups have this property\, and in 2 022 Sageev and Lazarovich established it for cubulated hyperbolic groups ( hyperbolic groups with a geometric action on a CAT(0) cube complex). I wil l discuss recent work with Petyt and Spriano showing that residually finit e hyperbolic groups admit globally stable cylinders.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20250910T190000Z DTEND:20250910T200000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Abdul Zalloum (Queen's University) URL:/qls/channels/event/abdul-zalloum-queens-universit y-367431 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
